Yu Wan sized up their expressions. “Wait, you know that it’s a holy artifact of the Nanzhao Nation?” In that case, Yu Zigui was not lying.

We know, uh… Don’t you know? Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen looked at Yu Wan with strange expressions. She already knew that she had the Gu King in her hands, so they thought that she knew more than them.

Yu Wan held her forehead. Look, look, this was how the bad information came about. She did not know what to say after obtaining such a big treasure. As for the visit of the envoy from Nanzhao, Yu Wan did not care too much about it. As long as Yu Zigui did not say anything, who knew that the Gu King was in her hands?

Yu Wan returned to her room.

The three people in the study room finally revealed looks of disbelief.

Shadow Six Eyes opened his mouth and said, “Young Master… If what Yu Zigui said is true, and the holy artifact is the betrothal gift for the Ghost Clan to marry the Eldest Princess, then… isn’t the Ghost Clan’s bride who ran away… Young Madam is… Aiya, this is…”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes to all of it!” Shadow Thirteen understood what Shadow Six wanted to say and answered him in one go.

Shadow Six felt like he was going to faint. After investigating for so many years, there had never been anyone who shocked him so much. It was really… really making him not know what to say.

Yan Jiuchao tapped his fingertips on the table a few times. The thing that the Nanzhao Nation did not hesitate to sell an Eldest Princess in exchange for fell into Yu Wan’s hands. He really did not know if it was a coincidence… or fate.

“Who are the envoys of Nanzhao?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

Shadow Six said, “It’s said that there’s a Grand Secretary of Nanzhao who brought his wife along. I haven’t heard about the rest of the envoys.”

“Go and ask around,” Yan Jiuchao instructed.

“Yes,” Shadow Six agreed.

Yan Jiuchao sat in the study room for a while more and dealt with the news sent by spies from various places. When he returned to the Qingfeng Courtyard, it was already late. Yu Wan waited for him to eat, but she fell asleep on the table.

Yan Jiuchao pushed the wheelchair over and wanted to carry her back to the bed. Just as he carried her onto his lap, he realized that she was drenched in sweat. Her forehead was burning with cold sweat and she was frowning.

Was she uncomfortable, or—

Yan Jiuchao wrapped one hand around her and touched her forehead with the other. Yu Wan’s body trembled and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Yu Wan panted heavily, a trace of shock remaining in her eyes. She realized that she was sitting in Yan Jiuchao’s arms and her expression relaxed.

“Did you have a nightmare?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

Yu Wan nodded.

Yan Jiuchao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Were you frightened when you heard that the envoys from Nanzhao were coming?”

Yu Wan shook her head. It was another nightmare she had.

“What did you dream about?” Yan Jiuchao asked softly.

Yu Wan was still immersed in the shock brought by the nightmare. She did not notice that Yan Jiuchao’s voice had become gentler than before, but she could feel her emotions calming down bit by bit with his voice.

“Yan Jiuchao.” She sat in his arms and said in an aggrieved tone, “I dreamed that you all left me. First it was you, then it was Dabao, Er’bao, and Xiaobao.”

She rarely remembered her dreams, but this time was an exception. It was probably because she was too sad in her dream. She dreamed that Yan Jiuchao had disappeared. He boarded a s.h.i.+p and never returned. The three little lads had grown up. They could not see or hear her. They followed another woman.

Yan Jiuchao looked at her resentfully. “What are you thinking about all day?”

Yu Wan lowered her head and pinched his slender fingers. “I clearly didn’t think of anything.”

She had taken the holy artifact of Nanzhao Nation. If she wanted to dream, she should have dreamed that she was escaping for her life. Who knew why she would dream that the four of them had left her? Or was it that in her heart, she actually minded that they did not eat what she made in the afternoon?

“Where’s your cherry crisps?” Yan Jiuchao didn’t see any snacks on the table.

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, “I sent it to my second brother.”

Yan Jiuchao’s face darkened.

Yu Wan continued to play with his fingers and said, “You’ve already eaten. What’s wrong with me sending it to my second brother?”

Li’er brought over the newly plucked petals. Just as she crossed the threshold, she saw Young Master sitting in a wheelchair with her Young Madam in his arms. Although she only saw their backs, Li’er was extremely embarra.s.sed.

Li’er hurriedly covered her eyes and left, not forgetting to close the door for the two of them. Li’er walked back and b.u.mped into Su Mu at the corner of the corridor.

“Sister Su.” Li’er pulled her back. “D-don’t go over.”

“What’s wrong?” Su Mu asked in confusion.

Li’er said embarra.s.sedly, “Young Master… and Young Madam… Anyway, don’t go over yet… We can go over after they call for hot water…”

Their room was at the other end of the upper room. If they went back now, they would have to pa.s.s by Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao’s room. Li’er felt that as a loyal maidservant, she had to help Young Madam guard the door.

Su Mu stared fixedly in the direction of the upper room. After a while, she turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

… .

In the room, the young couple only had each other in their eyes.

Suddenly, there were a series of footsteps outside the door. Then, with a bang, their door was knocked open.

“Un, un, un, un!”

It was Xiaobao scratching the door with his little hands, making urgent sounds from time to time. Soon, Dabao and Er’bao also came.

The three little lads wanted to enter the room, but they realized that the door could not be opened. However, they did not know how to speak. They were so anxious that they were about to cry.

“Little Master, Little Master!”

The nannies chased after them while panting. They tried to carry the three little masters away, but the three of them refused and cried!

Yu Wan held her forehead. Yan Jiuchao finally regretted not leaving the three little brats to Shangguan Yan. Yu Wan could only put on her clothes and open the door to let the three little fellows in.

The three of them threw themselves into Yu Wan’s arms, their big eyes teary.

“…They were having fun. I don’t know why they suddenly want to look for Dad and Mom,” Madam Li explained from outside the door.

“Got it. You guys can leave.” Yu Wan led the three little fellows into the room.

This time, the two of them did not have a good time after being interrupted. They originally planned to continue after the little fellows fell asleep, but who knew that they would eat something and run around the room excitedly. They were still energetic even after Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao fell asleep.
